[QUOTE="azure, post: 1293107, member: 39639"] As you get used to diabetes, you may want to ask about a basal/bolus regime. It's more injections but it gives you more flexibility both in the times and sizes of your meals. Do you need carb snacks? When I was on mixed insulin very early in diagnosis, I ate things like apples, digestive biscuits and cheese, toast, cereal bar, glass of milk and an oatcake, etc, depending on how many carbs I needed for that snack. Yes, do follow the advice you've been given about your bedtime blood sugar. Hypos at night can be harder to spot and aren't very nice. I always used to have a small bedtime snack when I was on mixed insulin. If you're wondering what your blood sugar is doing during the night, you could set an alarm to get up and test around 2am. My top tip is to keep a routine if you're using mixed insulin. [/QUOTE]
